July 9th, 2004 the fishing master of the vessel Galaecia was sanctioned 60.000 Euro and a<br />
suspension of fishing activities for six month for manipulating satellite devices and obstruction of<br />
inspections. <strong>Vidal</strong> Armadores paid the fine.<br />
Another sanctioning procedure was opened 12.12.2005 against <strong>Vidal</strong>, after <strong>Oceana</strong> informed the<br />
public and condemned the illegal transfer of supplies from the Spanish flagged <strong>Vidal</strong> vessel Galaecia<br />
to the Hammer, another of <strong>Vidal</strong>’s ships included in the CCAMLR registry of pirate fishing vessels.<br />
According to Spanish media reports, in October 2007, the Spanish government got a notification of a<br />
disembarkation of the illegal fishing vessel Chilbo San 33 in Mombasa the October 15th 2007. The<br />
Spanish government is evaluating proof that shows that the catches have originally been carried out<br />
by the vessel Galaecia.<br />
Galaecia was sighted and inspected in Cape Town in November 2007 with a gillnet roller fitted at the<br />
hauling station and it is quite possible that they are also involved in the nurse shark fishery.<br />
16.05.2008: New Zealand fisheries inspectors gathered evidence that Paloma V participated in joint<br />
fishing operations including IUU listed vessels Ina Maka and Chilbo San. Further evidence shows that<br />
Paloma V is operating as part of a group of vessels, controlled by <strong>Vidal</strong>, to which also the Spanish<br />
flagged vessels Belma and Galaecia belong.<br />
23.06. 2008: The Spanish government opened investigations into possible falsification of<br />
documentation and unloading documents of catches of the vessel Galaecia. The investigations are<br />
related to a load from Mombasa (Kenia), with the destination Sintes (Portugal) and that was probably<br />
later shipped to Vigo.<br />

In October 2007, Feike, a group of South African natural resource management advisors published a<br />
picture in their newsletter, showing the IUU listed fishing vessel Chilbo San, unloading in Mombasa,<br />
Kenia. Feike reported that the vessel unloaded around 100 tons of Patagonian toothfish.<br />
